listener james from westwood:
there's one as our dj, and one as our eminence grise/co-blogger. dj jeff has hinted at plans to get our other jeff on the mike more often, though!

Ah, got it. Just thought I used to see both names there in the past.

Uncle Michael:
Has the show started? I still have the stream.

Doug Schulkind:
Hi gang,
Today's D:O Radio will actually be airing from 1-4pm (ET). A screw-up at WFMU has the link to this playlist showing on the home page now, instead of beginning at 1pm. Sorry for the confusion. Jeff Golick we be beginning the show in 43 minutes.

Mon. 12/30/13 12:18pm
kat330:
Um. Hm. Yes, I was about to ask the same thing, but figured I'm the last to understand what might be going on.

Mon. 12/30/13 12:30pm
Doug Schulkind:
Apparently, the change in scheduling HAD been done, but the WFMU has "gone rogue" and is linking to today's show at the typical time anyway. Kenzo is no on the case. We can all rest easy.

kat330:
@Doug: It just seemed there was a song when I first tuned in that was in a loop. Guess it was just quite lengthy.

duke:
I clicked on both the 128k mp3 and pop-up player - cool echo effect

Mon. 12/30/13 12:32pm
Captain Hate:
My pc sound was getting really fragmented on this current big band song until I refreshed the pop up a couple times; now it's fine

Mon. 12/30/13 12:41pm
Doug Schulkind:
@kat330
Just now I tried to check the stream's software remotely to see what that long song was, but I am unable to connect. Apparently, WFMU is having some connectivity problems today. Happy Old Year, everyone!

kat330:
@duke: One time during Bryce's program, I had 4 different "devices" playing one of his intoning pieces all at once, with split-second staggering of all. It was trippy in the extreme.

Mon. 12/30/13 1:10pm
Doug Schulkind:
@earrie
I wish I could tell you. My ability to remotely open the stream is down right now so i can't access the info. If the connection gets fixed in the next 8-10 hours, I will be able to go in and scroll back through the history and find it.

Mon. 12/30/13 1:14pm
earrie:
Heya Kat. And dig not, Doug. Sr'sly. I'll hear it again some time, or not. Either way's aok by me.

Mon. 12/30/13 1:25pm
kat330:
@earrie: You have one of those, too? I attached some elastic arm pulls to the top of a doorway and so can double the trampoline workout benefit (also prevents any falling too far forward or backward ;).

Mon. 12/30/13 1:33pm
earrie:
Elastic arm pulls, Kat? For over the tramp? Must be a pretty large door frame, yeah? (Love my leetle trampoline. Fun. Doesn't plug in. Can make shit up as I go along, etc.)

Mon. 12/30/13 1:36pm
kat330:
@earrie: Yes, it's a double door -- of the old house ilk -- between LR and DR. I just store them up on a second hook when not in use. Really does give a good cardio workout more than just bouncing does.

Mon. 12/30/13 1:46pm
Jeff Golick:
Not at all, @kat330! I'm guessing jazz soundtracked some of the earliest twerks in the Northern Hemisphere.

Mon. 12/30/13 1:54pm
Doug Schulkind:
Whistle while you twerk?
Twerking in a coal mine.
All twerk and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

Discuss...

kat330:
I resolved decades ago to make no resolutions. It's immediate doom if I do.

Mon. 12/30/13 1:58pm
kat330:
@Doug: :) That last note reminds me. I saw *exactly* from where Kubrick lifted his famous "Here's Johnnie!" scene in "The Shining." It was in a Swedish silent film called "The Phantom Carriage." Everything but for the Nicholson grin and dialogue.

Mon. 12/30/13 2:01pm
Doug Schulkind:
Jon Stewart does brilliant comedy on the Daily Show, but has anyone (other than me) noticed that he has lifted a great deal of his physical comedy directly from Johnny Carson? In the spirit of all comedians, you'd have to call it homage rather than theft, but still, the resemblance is, as I observe it, unmistakable.

Discuss...

Mon. 12/30/13 2:05pm
kat330:
Doug, was all that by way of letting me know I misspelled "Johnnie"? ;) I love Stewart -- never really noticed the Carson similarity -- but I double-love Colbert. I don't know how much credit goes to his writers and how much to him personally, but he always nails the political parody on its head.

Mon. 12/30/13 2:30pm
Jeff Golick:
Hullo, @Brian in UK! Thanks for the link. Those are some great ones. Read STONER little while back -- that book's had an enviable second life. SPEED BOAT is in my ever-growing to-be-read pile.... Salter I got a little problem with... Have you read any of those? Am really enjoying the National (US) Book Award winner THE GOOD LORD BIRD right now.

Mon. 12/30/13 2:32pm
Jeff Golick:
@Brian: the song, you mean? I'm not sure. The record itself is called AFRICAN SKIES, so there's that. Cohran is an early AACMer, out of Chicago.

Mon. 12/30/13 2:33pm
kat330:
Is there actually still a walled garden of Blake's to be seen? Brian? Visited Wordsworth's Dove Cottage, but don't think I knew of any Blake abode.

Mon. 12/30/13 2:38pm
Doug Schulkind:
@earrie
I am speaking mostly of what he does with his face and hands while sitting at his desk. There is a double-take that Stewart does that is pure Carson. And his laughing at his own jokes, usually in response to a less-than-robust audience response, is also straight from The Tonight Show.

Mon. 12/30/13 2:42pm
Brian in UK:
@Jeff just about to read Stoner, the others are new to me. Reading Red or Dead by David Peace at present.
Cohran had a South African vibe about it at least to my ears!!

Mon. 12/30/13 2:45pm
Doug Schulkind:
@earrie and kat330
You both had asked about the long track that was playing on the stream right around noon. I was finally able to check the stream. It was "Egungun Riot 1976" by Femi Akinyemi's Juju Lucky Stars. Here is the album's cover art: globalgroovers.blogspot.com...

Mon. 12/30/13 2:45pm
Brian in UK:
@kat not really sure, I should know. There is Lambeth Palace nearby where the Archbishop of Canterbury resides.
We are going to the Lake District in March near Grasmere, might be a bit chilly.

Mon. 12/30/13 2:47pm
kat330:
@Brian: In March I'd think so. We were at Windemere staying in a youth hostel in Ambleside in May, and I'll never forget the freakishly sudden storm that had us unable to row our boat back from the opposite shore.

Mon. 12/30/13 2:50pm
kat330:
That was May 1974 to clarify, and btw, did some searching on my own for Blake's Lambeth digs. Still unclear if it's an actual site to visit though.

Mon. 12/30/13 2:51pm
Brian in UK:
Four seasons in one hour up there. Think the garden might be visionary.
This is a cool set.
To the kitchen.

Mon. 12/30/13 3:05pm
Jeff Golick:
Great to see your smiling eyes, @northguineahills; and sorry for the confusion.

Mon. 12/30/13 3:13pm
Dervish:
Can I just say I am enjoying the shit out of this tune.

Mon. 12/30/13 3:15pm
earrie:
@Doug. Hm. Yeah, I'll chime in. Disagree about the laugh. 1) it's human and 2) I'm fine w/ the current and dislike the previous. And the double-take? Could be caricature of caricature: mrwgifs.com...
